Accelerating Research Translation at UMass will fund up to three Seed Translational Research Projects (STRP) annually through the Translational Seed Awards program. While the funding is non-dilutive the focus is on building upon an analytical and/or experimental proof of concept with the aim of achieving a prototype within two years within an environment relevant to the intended use of the innovation. This funding adds to the availability of funding through the Manning Innovation Program.

Translational Seed Awards are available up to $100,000 for translational research & development to move UMass Amherst research and creative works towards impact through research-based startup ventures, out-licensing of patented or copyrighted work, scaleable community engagement, social impact ventures, or other vehicles.
